The PCV hose on my 1990 GM is definitely molded. Anyone know the part number or an aftermarket replacement for this?
thanks,

Nah, it's just old and stiff. Replace with 3/8 fuel hose. If I remember correctly. someone else please chime in on the size hose for the PCV.

3/8" sounds about right. The replacement line I bought for my car fits just fine and it wasn't molded. If the PCV valve keeps popping out of place because the hose isn't molded (like it did on my car), wrap some electrical tape around it so it will fit in the intake tightly.

when I replaced the hose on mine, I just made the hose longer so it would push the PCV into the hole.

The factory one was molded, but you can't get it anymore. 3/8" fuel hose works. Lays in there a little more nicely if you replace the PCV valve with one that comes with the plastic 90 degree elbow too. Makes it so you don't need to make 2 bends in the hose.
Use fat heat shrink tubing if you can. The glue on the tape will come apart and it will suck the tape up into the PCV valve. BT,DT.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Thanks guys. It is stiff and old (like me). The end where the PVC valve goes into seems to be beginning to split.95 DGM Impala SS, 383, LT4 cnc heads, LT4 matched intake, Holley 58 mm t/body, GM 846 cam, GMPP 1.5 rr's, F-body MAF, BH OBD I PCM, LT4 knock module, K&N cold air, Edelbrock headers, Flowmaster exhaust, BBHP #73 6-speed, 4:10 gear, sloted and drilled rotors, Z28 cluster
